Hello,
I'm signed on for a project that is using four different televisions. I have a 1.1 mac pro equipped with 2 dual port graphics cards, (so a total of four) but one of the outs does not work (so that gives me three total). I'm planning on using Qlab 2, so I was wondering what the best way would be to go about doing this.
I also have available a power mac with dual monitor outputs. Would it be possible to run this computer as a slave computer and just use it for its outputs, that would be sending the signal from Qlab on the Mac pro? If this is possible, how would I set it up?
I was thinking of also possibly using the Triplehead2go, but I'd like to have this as a last resort since it would split up one image to three. Would it be easy to split up one single image (say I wanted separate text on each tv) using Qlab 2 and triplehead2go? Sounds tough, but if someone has experience doing it, then I'd try it out. But remember, I would need four, so I would use one of the outs on the Mac Pro for a CRT Monitor to see what I'm doing, one output directly to a tv, and then the other output split three ways to the other three.
Anyone know any better ways?
